The way I see it the problem is that to tackle global warming we need long-term solutions over the next decade at least.
The trouble is politicians are motivated by short-term solutions to get them back into power, they need tugs on this heart string all that heart string.
I can pontificate all day long about what I think should be done, what I think should happen, but nothing will happen!
The easiest thing is to sit back and wait for someone to come forward and pick up the baton, get some political force behind them. But like I said, politics doesn't work like that, not for something like global warming.
Politicians have their own agendas and pressures from big business that have invested interest in fossil fuels. It's no good going to the politicians and saying we want you to do this we want you to do that it just won't happen!
But if we can understand the system, understand how the fossil fuel industry obtains government grants and subsidies, then we can identify suitable leverage points and at least stop the Grant's going to these outdated industries and maybe push them towards renewables.
It's something Jordan Peterson said, he has done many presentations all around the world with thousands of people attending. These people have listened to his is relatively specialised psychology YouTube videos they have listened in-depth absorbed as knowledge.
Before YouTube we were spoonfed information because the method, a program on the TV, only had a few minutes slot to convey sophisticated information. They would sensationalize and cherry-pick the information to attract a wide audience.
But now we have a generation of highly intelligent people who have access to the whole picture if they want it and and an individual without becoming a celebrity can trigger action which can have a significant effect on the world.
The means is within everyone's grasp, no need to involve politicians with their agendas.
Ordinary people can and will make things happen as long as they can understand the mechanisms and the pressure points, no need to sit in the road blocking transport, no need to blame everyone for the situation we find ourselves in, we just need to manipulate things just like the big businesses do.
We just need the information and transparency to make it happen.
